Chapter 784

Author: Gina Cinq
"But Logan, I had a nightmare. I dreamt of Lou struggling out there. Do you think God is punishing me for not treating Jo properly?" Harriet cried, gripping Logan's arm tightly.

Logan looked at Harriet, his heart weighed down with emotion. He frowned and noticed her pale fingers gripping his arm, revealing her visible pain. "Mom, stop thinking that way. Joanna isn't Lou, and treating her well won't change Lou's situation."

Logan wished to protect Harriet's wonderful dream, but the reality had become unavoidable. He could no longer keep lying. It was time for both of them to face the truth.

"No. If we're treating Joanna right, I believe Lou will be fine as well!" Harriet gasped, her complexion growing ever more ashen.

Back then, when Harriet found out Louisa was missing, she nearly broke down. After waking up, she was so disoriented. She struggled to recover for a long time. By the third year since Louisa's disappearance, Harriet's mental state had deteriorated significantly.

    Logan momentarily fell into a trance as he brushed past Millie, gently touching her arm.Millie stopped walking, and her heart raced as she saw nurses and doctors hurrying to the emergency department. She frowned and placed a hand on her heart, feeling a subtle distress.It wasn't the heart-wrenching agony she experienced while divorcing Winston, nor was it the familiar numbness that accompanied her heartbreak. Rather, it was an inexplicable pain, as if linked to something deeper.Millie arrived at the emergency department feeling somewhat downcast. Despite her mood, she managed to smile and addressed the person sorting through the documents, saying, "Lucy, I'm here to pick up my grandma's medication.""Millie, it's in the cupboard over there. Go and grab it," Lucy Myers said, pointing at the cupboard.Millie nodded.Someone suddenly called for Lucy from outside, and she replied, "Wait a minute, I'll be right there!""Hurry up! It's urgent," the person outside urged.Lucy panic

    Lucy replied sadly. "It's tough. She took a lot of pills, and it feels like she's losing her will to live.""Hasn't her stomach been washed?""She drank a lot of wine before taking the pills. Her stomach..." Lucy stopped talking, feeling nauseous.Millie was shocked. This would truly make the Lowell family suffer.Logan reassured Ethan and noticed Millie nearby. He was frustrated and wondered if she was reacting to the chaos within the Lowell family.Millie sensed Logan's fury but chose to remain silent. She turned to Lucy. "Lucy, please assess the situation inside. If it's too risky, inform the doctor leading the rescue that Dr. Lloyd has asked for my assistance. I intend to join the rescue mission."Lucy was perplexed. "But Millie, didn't you quit your job?""Dr. Lloyd mentioned that I can return anytime. We've signed an agreement stating that I'll take full responsibility if anything unexpected happens during the operation I'm part of. Hurry up. Time waits for no one," Milli

    "Millie..." Ethan's gaze was fixed on the closed door of the operating room, his heart racing with anxiety. He tightly grasped Logan's hand, filled with deep concern.He was worried about how Millie would treat Harriet. Would she treat her like any other patient? "Dad, please don't worry. We're in a hospital, and no matter how bold Millie is, she wouldn't risk harming Mom." Logan maintained a much calmer demeanor.Honestly, he was nervous when he learned that Millie was about to enter. However, upon witnessing Lucy stepping in to defend Millie, he immediately felt calmer, as if he suddenly held an inexplicable faith in the situation.In the operating room, Millie approached Mateo. "How's the patient?"Soon, a medical professional replied, "At this moment, her blood pressure is critically low, and she has just experienced a cardiac arrest. The significant intake of alcohol and medications has resulted in severe damage to her stomach."Millie glanced at the large screen beside her

    This was probably a doctor's inherent responsibility.Mateo chuckled. "Everyone knows about what happened between you and the Lowell family. I can't believe you still cared when the Lowells were in trouble. You're truly a great doctor."Millie detected the sarcasm in his words but chose to disregard it. Instead, she focused intently on the operation.The air outside the door was thick with tension, while the pressure continued to mount inside the operating room.Mateo sat against the wall, observing Millie. In the operating room, she appeared even more detached than the strangers. Yet, her movements were precise and efficient. She instructed clearly, and despite being new, she seamlessly collaborated with all the medical staff.The heartbeat dropped, and the monitor displayed a flat line. In an instant, a sigh echoed in the operating room.Mateo lowered his head. Despite Millie's efforts in the operation, there was no change in Harriet's condition. As Millie had mentioned, Harr

    As Millie emerged from the operating room, she found Ethan already weary and slightly drowsy. Glancing at the clock, she was astonished to see that it was already 4:00 am. She had been in surgery for nearly five hours.Logan was tired but quickly stood up when he saw her approach. Over the long five hours, he predicted various outcomes. Even if the rescue failed, he wouldn't blame Millie. He knew she had done her best. The real blame lay with him for not watching Harriet closely.Millie and Logan were silent, exchanging glances before Logan lowered his head, likely aware of the result. A tear escaped his eye and hit the ground. Suddenly, Ethan fell off his chair, about to shout.Millie stated calmly, "She's fine."After that, Harriet was pushed out of the operating room. Logan momentarily froze, then exclaimed with joy, "So my mom is okay?"Millie nodded. "She's okay."Ethan found it hard to believe that Harriet was fine."If I wanted to give up, I'd have done so earlier inste

    Millie noticed that Logan was always calm.She took a sip of water and nibbled on her pastry, unable to resist inquiring, "You just mentioned that Harriet has a secret everyone seems to know. What is it?"Millie was curious and suspected that Harriet's child was taken away by mistake. However, she was eager to know the full story."I only know a little about this. Some senior staff mentioned that when Harriet gave birth to her younger daughter, the Lowell family offended someone, and the baby was taken away right after birth. Harriet was so devastated that she attempted suicide. That's why I was searching for her old medical records."Lucy took a bite of pastry before continuing, "Harriet attempted suicide but wasn't successful, and since then, she has been suffering from severe depression. "For three long years, she struggled to move past it, visiting the hospital every day to ask for her daughter. Eventually, to bring her some comfort, Ethan decided to adopt a girl from the orp

    Millie lay in bed, increasingly engrossed in the news. She discovered that before the year 2000, the Four Great Families were in a major conflict, and the Lowell family was the last to join them.Among all this news, Millie stumbled upon a group called Sullivan Corporation, which piqued her curiosity. It reminded her of Kennedy, who appeared to have some unresolved issues with Winston.Millie clicked on the link about Sullivan Corporation and was immediately struck by the headline revealing that Kennedy's parents had tragically died in a car accident in 2009. Overwhelmed by the news, she slowly sat up as the article suggested that Brian from Greer Group might have been involved.After six months of investigation, Brian was released, as he had no connection to the incident. Shortly after, Sullivan Corporation was ruined, and its sole heir, Kennedy, moved abroad. She clicked on the article about Kennedy to delve deeper, discovering that it focused entirely on Kennedy and Winston. Th

    Millie waved her hands. She was too tired to drive at the moment.Just as she was about to summon a cab, she noticed Logan's car parked at the side of the road. He sat in the back seat and rolled down the window, his gaze fixed on her. He got out and gestured toward the car. "Millie, I'll send you back."Millie asked, "How did you know I was here?"After Millie finished speaking, she glanced toward the café, only to find Lucy deliberately turning away. Instantly, Millie concluded that Lucy was the culprit. With a yawn, she realized she needed to catch a cab regardless. It would be wiser to have someone drive her to save on fare. Without hesitation, Millie hopped into the car."Research lab. Thank you." With that, Millie wrapped her jacket tightly around herself and crossed her arms, settling in for a nap.However, Logan asked, "Will my mom have any lasting effects?"Millie replied with her eyes closed, "What do you mean?""Her stomach...""Eat well and get enough rest. It's n

    While in the hospital, Millie rubbed her arms to keep warm. Then, the person on the bed woke up.Millie turned her head and looked at the person on the hospital bed. Winston's eyes were dull and showed signs of exhaustion. Their eyes met, and neither of them said a word.The nurse entered and saw that Winston was awake, so she patiently asked about his condition.He just kept looking at Millie without saying anything.Millie glanced at the nurse, signaling that she could continue with her work. Winston seemed fine now."You're not allowed to drink anymore," Millie said, her voice calm and indifferent.He closed his eyes, turned his head away, and didn't look at her again.Millie frowned and asked, "What do you mean by turning your head?"Winston remained silent, unable to speak because of the tightness in his throat.Millie poured a glass of water and asked him, "Would you like some water?"He still remained silent.Millie grew impatient and said, "Then I'll call Eli to take

    Other than that word, Everly couldn't hear anything else."Dad, I can't hear what you're saying at all." Everly was becoming frustrated.Thomas exclaimed, "I said, Mills!""Yes, you're talking about Mills. And then? What about her?" Everly was extremely confused.She picked up her phone to check the time—it was already 3:00 am.She was about to lose it. From New Year's Eve till now, she did nothing but take care of Thomas."Dad, why don't we just go to sleep?" Everly didn't want to listen anymore.Whatever it was, she would be nice to Millie and not go up against her.She didn't like Millie before, but that was simply because she disliked how obsessed Millie was with romantic relationships."Oh! Ah!" Thomas suddenly started grumbling as he threw back the blanket. "Why can't you understand?"He was getting agitated.Everly was also getting extremely agitated. What exactly did she need to understand?He wasn't even speaking loud enough."I mean your sister! Millie!" Thomas s

    Everly, feeling exasperated, helped Thomas off the couch and took him to the bathroom.Thomas lifted his head. His face was flushed, and his eyes dazed over. "My daughter, my daughter, I didn't throw up…"Everly looked at the mess on the ground and felt a headache coming on. Thomas had already thrown up, yet he still claimed he hadn't."You're drinking so much even though you can't handle it!" Everly shouted."What are you saying? It's like you're saying, saying, saying… ugh!" Thomas immediately leaned over the toilet, unable to finish his sentence. It was like he was speaking in tongue twisters, and no one could understand him.Everly sighed. She twitched her nose and turned to go outside to wait for him.Ten minutes went by, and Everly had finished tidying up the house. There was no sound coming from the washroom where Thomas was.Everly furrowed her brows and called out, "Dad?"Fine. It seemed like he was going to end up sleeping on the toilet.Everly walked over and, as ex

    "I'll go get your medicine for you. Wait a moment." Millie intended to get the medicine from the bedside table.But then, Winston grabbed her arm. His palms were sweaty, and when he held her hand, it felt so hot it was as if he might burn her.Millie looked down at him.Winston looked up at her face, worried that if he let go, she might disappear.However, he knew very well that Millie wanted to leave, and he couldn't stop her."Millie, do you really have to give up on me?" Winston asked again, seeming determined to get an answer.Millie furrowed her brows, breathing heavily."Do you have to?" He looked at her. "Hmm?"Millie felt her heart tighten, and she just couldn't bring herself to say, "I have to let you go.""Winston," she called to him.Winston had no more strength left in him, as if he couldn't wait any longer to hear those words from her.He suddenly bent over and fell to the ground.Millie paused for a moment, then she quickly crouched down. "Winston?"She immed

    Millie tightened her grip on the doorknob and turned to look at Winston.He stood next to the coffee table, his hands dangling awkwardly at his sides. The expression on his face seemed profoundly sorrowful. Although they were close, it felt as if a huge ocean stood between them when he looked at her, making it impossible for him to bridge the gap.Winston made a slight groaning sound, licking his lips and breathing heavily. His body was also swaying a bit. His stomach felt extremely uncomfortable, churning violently as if he might throw up at any moment.What bothered him even more was the comment Millie had just made.She said, "Let's end this."End it? But how would they just end it? Then were her seven years over just like that? Did his guilt and regret count for anything?She could move on from him, love someone else, and marry them. But what about him? He could never forgive himself for the rest of his life…Could they just end it?"Millie. Tell me, how are we supposed to

    "Listen." Millie bit her lip but finally mustered up the courage to speak. "Let's end this between us."During those years with him, she caused her family a lot of worry and concern. She no longer wanted her family to worry about her.Or perhaps, she had become scared. She didn't want to gamble with her feelings anymore."Winston, I admit defeat. I don't have the courage to go through this with you again." Millie's voice was choked with emotion as she struggled to hold back her sadness while saying this.Winston instinctively reached for her hand."Millie, you promised me. You said you'd give me a chance. Why?" His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and his voice was so hoarse it seemed like he could barely speak."There's no reason. The new year has begun, and I hope you get better. Don't come looking for me anymore." Millie pulled away from Winston's hand, turned around, and got ready to leave.He suddenly hugged Millie tightly and said, "Don't…"Winston's voice seemed to pierce

    Millie opened the car door and pushed Winston inside the car.Winston fastened his seatbelt in the dark by himself.Millie got into the car and saw him sitting there quietly, which made her smile and sigh.Millie drove at a moderate speed. The road was busy, with many people out to watch fireworks, while others were heading home.Winston looked to the driver's side, his gaze fixed on Millie.Millie could sense that he was watching her, but she kept avoiding eye contact. Her mind was preoccupied with the messages her dad had sent.Let him go… The question was, could she give up on him?Millie furrowed her brow and rested her hand on her forehead, deep in thought."Did I make you hate me…?" Winston's raspy voice suddenly sounded next to her ear.Millie looked over at him with confusion."Does my drinking make you hate me?" he asked again, just like a child afraid of upsetting Millie."No." Millie shook her head.Despite having drunk too much, he still made an effort to pay at

    After the video call ended, Millie placed her phone on the table.Thomas said to Millie, "Hahaha! Mills, look, he can't handle his drink!"Having been the son-in-law of the Caldwell family for three years, I only just found out that he can't hold his liquor."Millie gave a wry smile. This statement seemed to be a double-edged sword. For three years, he hadn't visited the Caldwell family even once. Winston was truly ruthless at that time.Winston quickly explained to Millie, "Millie, I haven't had too much. I can still drink, honestly."His face was completely flushed, and it was clear that his speech was slurred.The two of them had already finished a bottle of vodka.Thomas was even ready to switch to a different type of alcohol.Thomas had spent many years away from home and was quite a heavy drinker. His drinking ability was different from that of Winston.Winston could ask Eli to drink on his behalf if he didn't want to, but if Thomas was trying to win resources for Rach

    At the dining table, Thomas and Winston started drinking vodka.The TV was showing this year's New Year Gala while Millie was quietly eating pierogi.She hadn't had homemade pierogi for three years, and they tasted so good. It felt like being back in her childhood, celebrating the New Year with her family. That was what made the festival truly special.Millie looked at her grandparents with a constant smile on her face. She felt happier than she had ever been before.She wished her parents were here too. Oh, those two…Just as she was thinking about this, her phone rang. It was Terrence calling.Millie answered the call without saying a word and pointed the camera toward Thomas.This year, Thomas had no one to drink with, so he turned to Winston for company.Terrence was lounging in the sun when he caught sight of Winston. His eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately set down his juice."Who is that? Am I seeing this right?" Terrence sat up straight, his voice filled with
